Not a Robot

I ended up loving this series and will miss this cast after the last episode. I think that Duang is a special character, but many young women in real life would find him cringe. I hope that this character has changed minds about giving someone a chance. Maybe Tee and Por could be the replacement couple in the Magic Lover series.

I wanted the mama cat and kittens rescue but I guess when Meen disappeared, that went with her.

I had to adjust because Net and James had a strong sexual chemistry. JJ is playing a role of the hapless, bad luck magnet that Tommy often plays and I think that he's doing a good job. But I do not ship actors so I may be in the minority.

I really like JJ in episode 2. I think many of us would be flipping out if this happened. I hope to see the elephant pants again in a few episodes. I'm sure the people were curious about his clothes and shoes.

No wonder Ngern and Maxky are so natural together. Oat was in Love Sick 2 but they had such a large cast that I can't remember him. I wonder if Oat and Ngern remember each other from back then.

I don't normally dig into the past roles of the actors, but there was something about Oat that seemed familiar. He was in Love Sick 2 and Make It Right. He must have been still in high school. I wonder if Oat and Ngern knew each other back then. They have an age gap that would have been big as teens (4 years), and with Ngern playing 2nd ML, I'm not sure if they had scenes together. It's been tool long since I've watched Love Sick or MIR, so I don't remember Oat.

Not going to lie, but I hope they don't cut out where Dao fights off thugs to protect Meen and a stray cat with her kittens. I know it's not needed for this series, but I would still like to see it.

Call me a late bloomer, but in episode 13, I noticed that Maxky is an exceptional actor. I heard somewhere that acting is also about how you perform when not the person speaking. The interaction between Johan and Arthit was great between both actors. Maxky's expressions while Arthit was speaking were so on point. Then how he changes his voice when Johan is speaking to North, it becomes so soft and polite that I felt like melting. When Arthit started shouting at North, Johan put a stop to it. After this arc ends, I might go back and rewatch. I thought Pond was the strongest actor out of the group, and maybe he is, but he usually plays a polite character, even as a psycho prince in Century of Love. It's a shame that Wabi Sabi is no longer managing talent as I would love to see this cast act together again.

After reading the novels, I realized that Johan and North are who the others turn to when they are having a a problem. I love their characters and Maxkey is the best acting partner Bas has had.

We novel readers had to go through abuse scene after abuse scene from both the father and Fun's mother, so we could handle what Fah and Jo did. The series had to heavily sanitize the abuse, so they had to sanitize what happened to the father. I did not want to see the horrific abuse from the novel to be honest. But we know what really happened to the Phoon's bio dad off camera.

It does, it's written in Thai and English at the start of each episode. Viewer discretion is advised means there will be topics not suitable for everyone. I think adults can make their own decisions from that point, and minors should maybe skip it.

Johan and North are still my favorite, especially with this being the fourth installment, I'm seeing how both Johan and North are the people the friends go to for comfort and the truth. I like Arthit and Dao because they don't have a history, so I'm enjoying seeing their relationship from day one. I actually like all four couples for different reasons. I'm current reading Tiger and Nao's story, so I'll see if my opinion changes.

North and Arthit game together so he is also a friend of Arthit, he's not just "my boyfriend's friend," so he knows that Arthit is a party boy who doesn't believe in love. Arthit is a little bit of a scoundrel who disappears on a whim, calls Jo for money when he's broke, constantly loses his keycard while he's drunk, and pretty much doesn't put effort into anything. North considers Dao a brother and wants a high quality person for him, someone stable, who wants a relationship, not a ONS. North is ride or die, just like how he punched Phoon's dad, so North is going to block first and sincerity must be proven, even if Arthit is a friend.

They ALWAYS use Russians and other non-native English speakers as American and it's annoying. The little boy also should have had a north American accent as well as they spent much of their time in California. I know so many bilingual kids and adults who speak both languages with an appropriate accent. I could see adult Arthit loosing his accent to an extent, but I'm just being nitpicky. What is even more irking is us book readers (I know people can't stand us) know that Arthit's mother seems to be Latina, as her last name is Castillo. Unless they change this from the book.

I'm sure they didn't have the budget to do all of that "travel" but I get you. Maybe if they cut one episode of Arthit getting the door slammed in his face, they could have added more, because Dao in the novel really had more to say about Arthit's mother.

I admit my bias for Ngern because I've known of him since Love Sick, but his acting in this series has been so good. He's good at playing hot, cold, and his grief scene was so good that it made me emotional. I thought that episode 12 was well acted all around.

i read this manga so long ago that I don't remember it at all, only the title. I like this mangaka, so I'll try to reread before watching

Teach Me, Touch Me by Wara.

I may start this series after reading some of the feedback. A huge number of angsty and dark shows were released in 2025 and I need lightness in my life too, so it's taking me a while to get through the heavier stuff.

I did not watch 4 Minutes because of the endless cigarette smoking and only watched Shine for Mile and Apo. Even though I thought the acting was excellent, the story and storytelling were mediocre. That's my opinion. BOC didn't do the boomers justice, instead preferring to focus on BOC's C-suite's obvious smoking fetish. Then to have that creep, sexual harasser Victor as second lead was pretty vile. After he was given a clear boundary more than once, he still persisted. You cannot trust a person who will not accept "no." The cringe Beatles break-up party must have been satire.
